Utility Challenges

The need to overhaul legacy systems for modern demands, like supporting electric vehicles or replacing lead pipes, has been constrained by slow growth rates.

Inflation shrinking the budget for projects, as the costs of materials and labor continue to rise.

Heightened scrutiny from consumers, many of whom are struggling with rising utility bills, results in regulator hesitancy to approve the rate increases essential for utilities’ survival.

Ensure unwavering reliability by keeping electricity and water flowing without interruption, even as increasingly volatile weather patterns threaten operations.
